I have set up a REALLY simple vacation thing, here’s how it works:

If/when you go on vacation send an email to vacation@firesidechess.com  subject-your username    body-date leaving and date returning

Within 24 hours I will respond saying your account is set up for vacation

How it works:  I send an email to all players that you have games against telling them they CAN NOT delete the game. This is an official Fireside Chess email, if you do delete the game, even on accident you risk getting banned or your rating will decrease
